THE PINK FLAMINGO (whataname lol)

"The Pink Flamingo does not like defending Sean Hannity. Unfortunately, this time, I think he could be getting a bad deal. It appears as though he could be the victim of the Green Eyed Monster. The witch hunt based on what appears to be either stupidity, naivety, or a malicious vendetta is now attracting the usual liberal bottom feeders.

What do Oliver North, Sean Hannity and Sean Hannity have in common?

Melanie Sloan, the Executive Director of CREW, is after Sean Hannity. She is also extremely liberal and is a member of Valerie Plameâ��s legal team. She is out to get Hannity and Oliver North, and go after North Freedom Alliance and revoke their non-profit status because Newt Gingrich has appeared at Hannityâ��s Freedom Concerts.

â��â�¦.Ms. Sloan serves as legal counsel for former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson and his wife, retired CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson, whose then-classified covert identity was disclosed, leading to the CIA leak grand jury investigation and the trial of I. Lewis â��Scooterâ�� Libby in United States v. Libby (see Plame affair). Ms. Sloan is one of the attorneys representing the Wilsons in their civil lawsuit against former and current officials of the George W. Bush administration (Plame v. Cheney)â�¦.â��

The Pink Flamingo seems to remember that Sean Hannity is raising money for the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. One of the complaints the liberals are making is that not enough money is being disbursed. Hannity is being denigrated because of the money spent on his concerts. Freedom Alliance has a very high rating with Charity Navigator. "

My father used to say, "Don't do as I do, do as I say." This is the equivalent to today's media, blogs, and even the government. So some people do as they say/believe, others do the direct opposite out of curiosity of 'why should I listen to you' or 'why can't I do as you do?'

RE Hannity - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
From Mr. Kilgannon two weeks ago:

False Accusations

1. The blog posting accuses our friend Sean Hannity of personally benefiting from Freedom Alliance. This is FALSE. Freedom Alliance has never provided planes, hotels, cars, limos, or anything else to Sean. Sean gets nothing from Freedom Alliance except our gratitude for his personal generosity and for all he has done to help the troops and our organization. We have never had to ask Sean for anything, he always generously offers his help before we have a chance to ask him. But to be clear Sean pays for all his own transportation, hotels, and all related expenses for himself and his family and friends and staff, which over the years has added up to tens of thousands of dollars. He does not use any Freedom Alliance Funds or Concert funds in any way, period.
2. Sean Hannity has contributed $100,000 to the Wounded Warriors Foundation, over $200,000 to the Freedom Alliance, and over tens of thousands of dollars to other military charities and individuals. We only make this information public because of the outrageous slander against him. Sean has no management or operational involvement in, or control over, Freedom Alliance. He has been a selfless patriot in his efforts to raise funds for the education of children of armed services personnel.

3. The blog posting accuses Freedom Alliance of spending less than 20% of money raised on program activities. This is FALSE. Listed below are the amounts that Freedom Alliance spent for each of the past three years and the categories on which they were spent. The figures are taken from our Federal Form 990 which is filed with the Internal Revenue Service and posted on our web site and audited by an independent auditor using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This financial record not only meets, but exceeds standards of program efficiency set by most charity evaluators.

4. In 2008, Freedom Alliance spent a total of $6,745,717. Of that:

â�¢ â�¢ â�¢

79 percent ($5,317,970) was spent on Program Activities 14 percent ($945,950) was spent on Fundraising 7 percent ($481,797) was spent on Management

In 2007, Freedom Alliance spent a total of $7,461,350. Of that:

â�¢ 81.5 percent ($6,084,474) was spent on Program Activities â�¢ 13.5 percent ($1,011,501) was spent on Fundraising â�¢ 5 percent ($365,375) was spent on Management

In 2006, Freedom Alliance spent a total of $7,064,839. Of that:

â�¢ 77 percent ($5,434,538) was spent on Program Activities â�¢ 18.5 percent ($1,308,414) was spent on Fundraising â�¢ 4.5 percent ($321,887) was spent on Management

5. The blog posting accuses Freedom Alliance of spending money intended for student scholarships on other expenses. This is FALSE. Freedom Alliance has distributed $3.4 million in Scholarships and created a Scholarship Trust Fund with the additional money that we have raised for that program. That fund now contains $15 million, over $10 million of which has been raised by Hannity and the concerts. Our scholarship program is managed with the understanding that it will be needed for at least the next 20 years as there are children who will ultimately receive a scholarship who are now only a few years old. As indicated on our Federal Form 990, these funds are restricted and used only for future scholarships.

6. Our Scholarship Fund is one of four programs operated by Freedom Alliance. Supporters may donate to a specific program or for general operating purposes. In 2008, Freedom Alliance received $2.1 million in scholarship donations. The same year, we awarded $802,250 in scholarships and applied $1.3 million to our Scholarship Trust Fund. The funds donated by Sean Hannity directly â�� or through the proceeds of the Freedom Concerts â�� and the support of thousands of Americans are used for these purposes:

â�¢ Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund: Providing scholarships to those whose parents have been killed or severely injured in their service to our Country. There is now over $15 million in the scholarship fund for the students as they come of age.

â�¢ Support our Troops: Many events each year are planned and executed by our staff to show appreciation and provide special opportunities for those actively serving in the military.

â�¢ Leadership Academy: A program for high school students in which they are encouraged and trained to serve their country.

These programs would not be possible without the support of Mr. Hannity and many others.

We are proud of our work and numerous accomplishments. We are grateful to our supporters whose voluntary contributions make it possible and we thank you. While it is discouraging to have our record misrepresented in such a malicious way, our work is important and, with your support, it will continue.

Respectfully,

Thomas P. Kilgannon, President

Oliver L. North, Founder & Honorary Chairman

PS: I sure hope whatever investigation is under way, Hannity is cleared. He truly does good work and supports our troops tremendously.

moments when I get so frustrated that the anger in me is easy to see on this board, and I sometimes come back, apologize to the person and admit I'm wrong when I feel I am. I guess most of us are human, eh?

[ In Reply To ..]
You can't prove it, but that doesn't stop you from claiming it's there.

Still waiting for my apology for calling me a liar, by the way.

Please refresh my memory as to when I personally claimed (sm) - Nikki

[ In Reply To ..]

there was racism in the Tea Party. I'd like to see a copy and paste of that, if you don't mind.

Your "opinion" is pretty well set, then, if you even stretch it to "Gotta love those Chicago thugs." What public actions have occurred that link Hannity to "Chicago thugs"?

There are certain members of the Tea Party, however, who have, through their behavior that we have seen on screen time and time again, caused me to be very fearful for the future of my family and this country.

As far as the apology you seek is concerned, I have repeatedly on this board apologized to people whose feelings I have hurt or MAY have hurt because I was dealing with people who have the capacity to BE hurt and I honestly felt sorry.

You demand an apology from me because you accused me of calling Republicans "Rebublicans" (whatever THAT is), that YOU deemed was a negative term for Republicans. I responded, saying you weren't telling the truth. It was a typical "Gotcha" on your part because, as I explained, it was simply a typo, and I shared with you the names I WOULD have used if I wanted to call Republicans names.

As far as your apology, I'm really, really sorry that I made a typo, and I'm even sorrier that you chose to make an issue of a typo, but most of all, I'm really very sorry that you harbor such pettiness and anger in your heart.

I'll reserve real apologies for the people who are real, people who have a heart, people I truly was nasty to. I'll be the first to say I'm wrong if I'm wrong. I'll feel it in my heart because I'll know I did it on purpose and it deserves an apology.

So, okay, because of a typo, I wrote the word "Rebublicans" instead of "Republicans." If you were a different person, I would have trusted your word, and I would have apologized. Truth is, you haven't shown yourself to be that kind of person because you're nasty with everyone on this board who doesn't agree with you. EVERYONE, not just me.

So right now, I can't bring myself to publicly (or privately) apologize to you because I don't think you deserve an apology.

Right on, Nikki! - ASmom

Just another example of leaning on the panic button over nothing and then attacking without considering what she is reacting to. It was clearly a typo, anyone should be able to see that, and especially someone who types for a living, such as an MT.

you at least have the decency to own up to it for a change, and not try to "divert" to garbage from past history that had no merit (i.e. Rev. Wright).

Bottom line is this: Hannity bragged on his show about "every penny" going to this charity, and that is so obviously not true. Deal with it.

Doesn't matter. Does not matter the source - she will NEVER admit

[ In Reply To ..]
it is true.

So when it turns out to be bogus, you'll apologize, right? - Anon

I can only presume that you are a very unhappy person who only finds joy in putting down others. But, for your information, I will be happy to apologize if the claims about Hannity's bogus charity are proven false, and that he did, in fact, give "every penny". I, at least, have enough integrity to be able to admit to my own mistakes . . . My speculation is, they will turn out to be more than truth.

I wonder if Anon will apologize to YOU if it turns out you're right. - Nikki

Murder = Termination of a pregnancy at any time for any reason.

What Murder is not = Death of soliders or innocent bystanders including men, women and children in a war, no matter whether the war was justified or not; Death as means of a penalty within our "justice system";
Killing others for performing above stated definition of "murder."
Killing others who do not agree with you.

In other words:
"Pro-life" = Those who subscribe to the belief that the termination of an abortion is murder. All of the methods of terminating a life of a person who is already born are excluded and are therefore fair game and A-okay!
